1. The two candidates were gigabit Ethernet and ATM ( asynchronous transfer mode ). 2. Datakit uses a cell relay protocol similar to Asynchronous Transfer Mode . 3. The venture specializes in asynchronous transfer mode , frame relay and Internet protocol technologies. 4. ATM is an abbreviation of asynchronous transfer mode , an international standardized transmission technique. 5. SMDS was developed by Bellcore as an interim service until Asynchronous Transfer Mode matured. 6. It uses a new technology-- developed mainly in European laboratories-- called asynchronous transfer mode . 7. That is why asynchronous transfer mode has become a standard format for most telecommunications carriers. 8. Some firms are switching to a different kind of networking system, called Asynchronous Transfer Mode . 9. Asynchronous Transfer Mode is often the communications protocol used.10. This Internet snafu revolves around a technology called Asynchronous Transfer Mode or ATM, Dunn said.
